SummaryResumen

The *Great Falls daily tribune* reported that Julius M. Cestero of the Dominican Junta protested U.S. intervention, asserting that Dominican citizens never sought American control and continually demanded their independence. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Colby described the U.S. role in Haiti as benevolent and nearing completion, though the State Department continued withholding salaries from Haitian officials who obstructed treaty implementation. Colby recalled that the 1915 military intervention in Haiti was necessitated by chronic violence and the murder of President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam.
